A global magazine focused on the clean technology industry recently turned its spotlight on an unusual partnership: an RV manufacturer in the overlanding market and a U.S. auto maker.
A recent video at Out of Spec Reviews shows us something really cool Kyle found at Overland Expo Mountain West. Unlike many of the vehicles out there, it’s made to not burn a single drop of gasoline, despite being a fully functional RV! It’s the result of a partnership between GMC and EarthCruiser, a prominent builder of overlanding campers and RVs.
One of the things that makes this overlanding RV so unusual is that it was built by GMC and EarthCruiser, but it’s not deeply controlled by GM. Instead of wanting to sell all of them through dealers and wanting control over the project, GM lent its engineering staff to the collaboration without much expected in return. EarthCruiser will maintain full control over the design and will sell it either as part of a full vehicle or as an add-on that anybody can have installed on their existing Hummer EV.
If you saw this on the road and didn’t know what it was, you might think it came out of a factory in one piece, and that’s because the companies worked so closely to make sure it all worked well together. Paints are an exact match, aerodynamics are optimized (as much as they can be for a huge vehicle like this) and everything looks like it belongs.
